Winner: School Library Journal Best Books 2009
Laura's diary of 2015 covers the first year of carbon rationing in the UK. Everyone has been issued with a carbon card that tracks their allowable use of carbon during the year, affecting travel, utilities and any purchases that have been transported long distance. 15 year old Laura has to cope with limits to hygiene, mobile phone use and endless lectures on reducing energy use.
The carbon diaries is set in the near future. The combination of Laura's highly dysfunctional family, her self-centredness and London's suffering through floods, droughts,riots and disease make this a frenetic paced, entertaining read with characters and plot that are both believable and appealing. Teen readers of all ages will love it.
The carbon diaries 2017 continues Laura's journey through a world falling to pieces. Now 18, she is mostly concerned about her punk band and the relationship with her boyfriend. Read about The carbon diaries 2017 and other Saci LLoyd novels about the environment on her website.
